3 Background: Several regions have reviewed and provided documentation indicating Microllam laminated planking is equivalent to scaffold grade planking. Action: Section 29CFR (a)(10) states, All planking shall be scaffold grades, or equivalent, as recognized by approved grading rules for the species of wood used. DESIGN PROPERTIES Microllam LVL Scaffold Plank Design Properties U.S. Canada Plank Thickness 1 3 4" or less Over 1 3 4" 1 3 4" or less Over 1 3 4" Flexural Stress, F b 2,900 psi 2,400 psi 2,900 psi 2,400 psi Modulus of Elasticity, E 2.15 x 10 6 psi 2.15 x 10 6 psi 2.20 x 10 6 psi 2.20 x 10 6 psi Horizontal Shear Stress, F v 145 psi 145 psi 145 psi 145 psi Coefficient of Variation (MOR) 12% 12% 12% 12% General Notes Design properties are determined in accordance with ANSI A , Appendix C. These properties apply only to Microllam laminated veneer lumber (LVL) scaffold planks used in conditions where the moisture content of the plank is not expected to exceed 19%. These values apply only to planks used in the flat orientation. F b, E, and F v shall be adjusted by a factor of 0.80 when used in conditions where the moisture content of the plank is expected to exceed 19%. Fastener values (nails, bolts, screws) shall be as provided for sawn Douglas fir per 2001 National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS ) or per Canadian Standards Associations (CSA) O86-01, Engineering Design in Wood. No increases in allowable unit stresses are included for load-sharing systems. Values are for new or like-new product. June 9, 1975 OSHA Program Directive # To: Assistant Regional Directors/OSHA Subject: 29CFR (a)(10), Scaffold Planking Purpose: To provide specific information on Microllam laminated planking which meets the equivalent requirements of 29CFR (a)(10). Directives Affected: None. A comparison of engineering data on Microllam laminated planking with engineering data on planking of scaffold grades, as indicated in the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau Grading Rule, finds that Microllam laminated planking provides the equivalent strength of scaffold grade planking, and meets the equivalent requirements in 29CFR (a)(10). This is not to be construed as either an approval or an endorsement of the product. This determination is contingent upon the product continuing to meet the specified engineering criteria which was submitted. Barry J. White Associate Assistant Secretary for Regional Programs 3

6 CAUTIONS Proper Handling Scaffold planks can be damaged when thrown from a scaffold. Lower scaffold planks in an orderly manner. Scaffold planks that have been thrown from scaffolding or have had heavy objects dropped on them should be removed from service and evaluated before reuse. DO NOT overload scaffold planks (See Maximum Allowable Deflection table below). DO NOT throw scaffold planks. Always use forklifts or other mechanical lifting devices to lift and lower bundles of scaffold planks. Bundle stickers should be thick enough to allow easy access for forks. Use corner protection when moving bundles with chain or cable swings. Do not dump scaffold planks from trucks. Do not push bundles of scaffold planks with the ends of forks. Overloading Never store heavy materials on scaffold planks unless permitted by the scaffold designer. The maximum allowable deflection for Microllam LVL scaffold planks is 1 5 8" for an 8' span and 2" for a 10' span (1 1 4" and 1 1 2" in Canada); see Maximum Allowable Deflection table below. If a scaffold plank deflects more than shown in the table, or makes cracking noises, it is being overloaded. Scaffold planks that have been overloaded should be immediately removed from service, then visually inspected and field tested before reuse. See Visual Evaluation and Mechanical Evaluation and Testing on pages Jumping Never jump or bounce on scaffold planks. Misuse Never use scaffold planks as loading ramps, walkways through mud, or anything other than scaffold planking. Improper use might cause damage that makes the scaffold planks unsafe. Notches Consult the scaffold designer when a plank must be notched to clear an obstruction. Provide additional support in the area of the notch if the modified plank cannot properly support design loads. Improper Storage Scaffold planks that are improperly stored are subject to biological attack and mechanical damage. See Storage Recommendations on page 8 for proper storage techniques. DO NOT push bundles of scaffold planks with the ends of forks.

7 CAUTIONS Chemicals The phenolic resin used to make Microllam LVL is highly resistant to the action of chemicals. However, the wood component is susceptible to attack. The risk of damage is related to the concentration, ph, and temperature of the chemical solution. The most hazardous chemical solutions have a ph less than or equal to 3, a ph greater than or equal to 9, or temperatures higher than 120 F. In addition, all oxidizing chemicals are hazardous to wood. Obtain Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for any chemicals used on a job that are likely to come in contact with scaffold planks. Refer to the Handling and Storage section of each applicable MSDS. Planks contaminated with hazardous chemicals should be immediately removed from service, then properly evaluated before reuse. Polar liquids (such as water and alcohol) temporarily weaken wood. Their effect is reversible. Non-polar liquids (such as petroleum products and creosote) have a negligible effect on strength. Acids attack wood. The rate of decomposition increases as solution temperature increases. Strong acids with a ph of 1 to 3 (such as hydrochloric, nitric, and sulfuric) react with wood more quickly than weak acids (such as formic, acetic, propionic, and lactic). Strong alkalis with a ph of 12 to 13 (such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and ammonium hydroxide) attack wood. The rate of decomposition increases as solution temperature increases. Salts affect wood in relation to their ph. Acid salts are generally weak acids and pose a minor threat at low temperatures. Neutral salts are not a problem. Alkaline salts with a ph greater than 9 are very damaging. Sodium chloride (common salt) does not react chemically with wood, but can cause the wood structure on the surface to rupture over time. Oxidizing chemicals (such as peroxides, chlorates, and nitrates) are very damaging to wood. Heat The phenolic resin used to make Microllam LVL belongs to a class of adhesives known as thermosets. These adhesives require heat to cure, but once cured, additional applications of heat cannot reverse the process. Phenolic resins will not begin to decompose until reaching a temperature of about 625 F. Wood, on the other hand, can suffer permanent loss of strength under prolonged exposures to temperatures above 150 F, and will char at about 425 F. Do not expose wood scaffold planks to temperatures that exceed 150 F. Fungus Decay Fungi require food (wood), oxygen, a favorable temperature, and water to thrive. Of these four factors, water is the most controllable. See Storage Recommendations on page 8 and follow the storage practices below: Keep dry planks dry Allow wet planks to dry quickly by providing air circulation Wet Conditions Scaffold planks are generally used in elevated locations with good air circulation. This environment is favorable for drying the wood fibers. For this reason, allowable stresses for scaffold use may be based on a dry-service condition (where moisture content is less than or equal to 19%). When using planks in applications where moisture content between 19% and 30% is likely, use allowable stresses for the wet condition. See Wet Use in the span tables on pages 4 (U.S.) and 5 (Canada). 7

8 STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS Properly stickered, neat bundles. Microllam LVL scaffold planks are valuable! Store them properly! Stack scaffold planks neatly and sticker bundles properly Storage and Handling The proper storage and handling of wood scaffold planks can prevent unnecessary damage. Plank strength and stiffness properties are affected by moisture content; therefore, it is important to stack scaffold planks off the ground. Bundles of scaffold planks should be supported on stickers spaced no more than 8' on-center to provide air circulation and easy access for forklifts. Stickers between bundles should line up with the stickers on the ground to prevent bowed or damaged scaffold planks. To prevent decay, store wet scaffold planks in a manner that allows for proper air circulation. When stacking, improve air circulation within a bundle of wet scaffold planks by separating each layer with stickers. Space the stickers no more than 8' on-center and line them up vertically. Bands should line up with the stickers to prevent bowed or damaged scaffold planks. Bundles of Scaffold Planks Bundles of scaffold planks should be assembled neatly and contain planks of similar lengths. Scaffold planks sticking out from the ends of bundles can be snagged and damaged. Properly covered storage. Keep scaffold planks dry when they are in storage Weather Conditions Certain geographical areas experience extreme weather conditions. In those areas, decay may be more likely to occur and the following precautions should be followed: Store scaffold planks in a level, well-drained location. Protect scaffold planks from weather by placing them under a roof or under a material that will shed water but is porous enough to allow moisture to escape. 8

9 VISUAL EVALUATION DAMAGED PLANKS MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE Saw Cuts Face Break Dent End Split Narrow Face Split Always Inspect Your Planks It is the responsibility of ilevel Trus Joist Heavy Commercial to deliver defect-free scaffold planks to each of its customers. The best means of ensuring safe performance of all wood scaffold planks include thorough visual inspection before constructing each scaffold, and proper storage, handling, and use. Remove damaged scaffold planks from service as soon as the damage is discovered. Failure to remove damaged scaffold planks from service can result in serious injury or death. Although some damage to scaffold plank may be difficult to detect visually, some of the more common types of damage are: Saw kerfs, saw cuts, drilled holes, and notches. A saw kerf across the wide face of a scaffold plank lowers its capacity by effectively making the plank thinner. A saw cut, drilled hole, or notch in the narrow face has a similar effect. Scaffold planks with saw kerfs, saw cuts, drilled holes, or notches in them should be removed from service. Face breaks. A break on the wide face of a scaffold plank is the result of overloading. This type of damage might be difficult to detect; therefore, a policy of prevention will be more effective than relying completely on detection. See Cautions on pages 6 and 7. A face break looks like an irregular crack across the tension face (bottom) of the scaffold plank, or a small, straight wrinkle across the compression face (top). Face breaks result in a dangerous loss of strength. Scaffold planks showing face breaks should be removed from service. Dents. A dent could be caused by dropping a scaffold plank on an object, or by dropping an object on a plank. The dent itself might have little effect on plank strength, but it could be a sign of internal damage that will seriously affect plank performance. Scaffold planks with dents should be removed from service, then visually evaluated and field tested before reuse. Gouges and depressions. Gouges or depressions (where pieces of wood have been torn or eaten away from the plank) might be the result of careless forklift operation, decay, or chemical attack. Scaffold planks with gouges or depressions in them should be removed from service. End splits. An end split is a separation that extends through the plank from one face to another. End splits are normally the result of abuse or repeated wet/dry cycles. End splits of lengths shorter than 1 2 of the plank width do not necessarily weaken the plank. Longer end splits, up to 18" long, should be stopped by cutting back or reinforcing with straps or rodding. Planks with end splits longer than 18" should be cut back or removed from service. Narrow face splits. An open split on the narrow face of the plank might have been caused by a forklift. An open split that migrates diagonally across adjacent veneers might have been caused by overloading. Diagonal splits are likely to be accompanied by face breaks. It may be necessary to use a thin, stiff probe to distinguish a split from a shallow weathering check. Scaffold planks containing open splits on the narrow face should be removed from service. Discoloration. Discoloration might indicate exposure to high temperatures, chemical attack, or decay. Scaffold planks that are entirely or partially discolored should be removed from service until the cause of the discoloration has been determined to be harmless to the planks. Other. Soft or crumbly wood might indicate chemical attack or decay. Odd odor also might indicate chemical attack. Scaffold planks that have soft or crumbly areas on them should be removed from service until the cause has been determined to be harmless to the planks. 9

10 MECHANICAL EVALUATION AND TESTING If you choose to mechanically test your wood scaffold planks, avoid test procedures that involve jumping or bouncing on them. These methods could actually cause damage. Instead, use a nondestructive test procedure such as the following: 1. Make sure the plank is free from built-up dirt and debris. 2. Center the plank on a scaffold frame, or similar structure, that has been set up on a level surface. The plank may overhang one or both sides of the frame without affecting the test results, provided that the plank touches both supports. 3. Identify a stationary point of reference, separate from the frame, from which to measure the location of the plank before and after loading. This could be the ground directly below the plank; you could measure with a tape measure or attach a tape measure to a vertical pole and stand it up next to the plank. 4. Preload the plank with approximately 20 lbs to settle the plank on the frame. Measure and record the deflection of the plank under the preload. 5. Determine the test load to be applied to the plank from the Test Loads table below. Place the load slowly on the plank. Measure and record the deflection of the plank under the test load plus the preload. 6. Calculate the difference between the measurements in steps 4 and 5 to get the deflection of the plank under the test load. Compare this number to the Maximum Deflection shown in the Test Loads table. 7. Examine the bottom of the plank for face breaks while the plank is loaded. If you see face breaks, remove the plank from service. 8. Listen for cracking noises during the test; if you hear cracking noises, remove the plank from service. 9. Turn the plank over and repeat this procedure. Any plank that deflects more than the Maximum Deflection shown in the Test Loads table should be removed from service.

The Maximum Deflection shown is 25% higher than the amount calculated using the design modulus of elasticity. This is to account for the variability of the material and moisture content of 19% or less. Deflection is directly proportional to load. If the test load used is 20% lower than the test load shown above, the Maximum Deflection shown above should be decreased by 20%. 10

11 MECHANICAL EVALUATION AND TESTING Planks that fail a load test, yet show no signs of damage, may be too wet. To determine whether the moisture content of a plank is high, compare its weight to the limits stated in the Approximate Weight table below. If the plank s weight exceeds these limits, set it aside to dry, and then retest it. A handheld, electrical-resistance meter with a needle-probe provides an alternative method of determining whether the moisture content of a plank is high. Generally, the recommended procedure is to drive the probe in about 1 4 of the plank s thickness to get the average of the section. If the meter has two probes, insert them so they both read along the grain. Take measurements in a few different locations. The glue lines in Microllam LVL affect electrical resistance, making it necessary to adjust the meter reading by a factor of approximately 5 8. This factor is likely to vary, depending on the make and model of the meter. The meter manufacturer will provide other adjustment factors for species and temperature. If the surface of the plank is wet, dirty, or contaminated, or if the plank has been treated with fire retardant, the meter will give false readings. If the meter reading suggests a high moisture content, set the plank aside to dry, and then retest it.
